Please join our team, Johnny's Joggers, for our son Johnny, and his fight, and many others' fight for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis – a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has already made significant Great Strides in research and medical advancements. Johnny has already benefited from the newest wonder drug, Trikafta, that is now available for younger CF patients. In six months time on Trkafta, Johnny has increased his lung finction, cleared up sinus polyps, and gained much needed weight to fight this life threatening disease. Your donations and support through these events, go directly to these research developments. Your donations and participation is saving our son, and is giving those diagnosed with CF more days to live, and one day closer to a cure within their lifetime!
With supporters like you by our side, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to lead the way in the fight against CF, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. The life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years. Despite this progress, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies either because their disease is too advanced or because their specific genetic mutations will not respond. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.
We walk in Great Strides for them.
Will you join us?
Great Strides is a fun event that provides a fantastic opportunity for family, friends, students, and colleagues to come together to make a difference in the lives of people with CF. This year we have added a "Hike" or walk of Fifth Third Stadium steps in Toledo as new twist added to the existing walk, with a lunch party priovided post Walk/Hike!!!
To participate, just click on the "Join our Team" button, Team Johnny's Joggers. From there, you can make a donation and start fundraising.
By joining our Great Strides team and making a donation, you will be part of a tenacious and passionate group of people committed to ending this disease. Together, let’s make CF stand for Cure Found!
